Chapter 124 Buddha's Son and Demon King, Round Two
Only Ao Bai instantly connected to this unfortunate thing's thought process.
Sure enough, the girl's almond-shaped eyes lit up the next second.
The moment Lian Zhuo and Luo Chuan looked over at the same time, Hua Li smiled and waved to Xiao Ta, who was being fed, "Xiao Ta, come here."
Little Ta was sadly resting her chin on her hand, her mouth agape, waiting for Zhao Heng to feed her. Upon hearing this, her amber eyes lit up, and she immediately rushed over on her short legs, "Huali!!"
"Have we gotten back together?" Huali asked with a smile.
"Of course! Huali and I are the best of friends on the entire continent!" Xiaota said, while also giving Lianzhuo a look to be sensible and not try to steal him away.
Completely caught off guard, Lian Zhuo: "..."
Luo Chuan, who had shot himself in the foot: "..."
Huali picked up Xiaota and looked at Xiaoer, "How does this count? She's of the opposite sex, and although she looks small, her true form is over a thousand years old. We don't want one person to eat for free, how about a 15% discount?"
The sweating waiter was speechless. "You know Fairy Tang from next door?"
Karin nodded, "Oh right, but they absolutely refuse to come and sit with us. And those people having snacks over there, count them all in too."
The waiter was finally relieved at this moment. He quickly retreated and said, "Then you don't need to calculate your bill. I wish you all a pleasant meal."
Karin, who was suddenly given a free meal, asked, "Why?"
"Because these are shares my family invested in." Tang Wanwan, who was holding back her bad hopes that Huali would choose Lianzhuo and did not clarify immediately, said, "Have you forgotten whose territory Tianlan City is? The Spirit Sword Sect. And my father, the sect leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, has nothing else but a lot of shares."
"Besides here, there are other fun places," Tang Wanwan glanced at Lian Zhuo and Luo Chuan, not daring to be specific, only vaguely saying, "I'll take you to see the world later."
Lian Zhuo looked at the girl's starry eyes, a helpless smile flashing in his own. He slowly released his palms, which were sweating slightly from nervousness.
Seeing the little girl's adoring look, Luo Chuan was practically itching to get his hands on her; she really was a complete little money-grubber.
But undeniably, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Having successfully dodged the question, Huali lowered her head. Heaven knows how terrifying the looks she received from the two men after she asked that question!
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to eat people.
Luckily, she was quick-witted; these two couldn't possibly be compared to a three-year-old. Thinking this, Huali smiled and pinched Xiaota's cheek.
Xiaota asked worriedly, "Huali, if you meet the Buddha, will you still be with me? Will you leave me and go with him?"
"What are you saying? You're all my good friends." Karin had been wanting to ask this for a while now, "Who said that to you?"
Luo Chuan paused slightly as he drank his tea.
Xiaota shook her head. "No."
The Demon King raised an eyebrow, about to praise the little pagoda for being cute, when he heard the little pagoda say honestly, "I heard it from a book, the one Huali gave to Luo Chuan, 'Little Junior Sister'."
Hearing Xiaota's words, Lianzhuo's eyes turned cold again, and she said, word by word, "The Chronicles of the Immortal Sect: Junior Sister, Don't Even Think About Escaping?"
Xiao Ta was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Before Lian Zhuo could answer, Tang Wanwan broke down, pointing at Hua Li, "You lied to me, and you even lied to a three-year-old?"
"That's not the point. The point is, I don't remember this part being in there," Huali said suspiciously. "Xiaota, aren't you illiterate? Who told you this?"
Little Tower pointed his chubby little hand at Luo Chuan, "Him."
No wonder! She was wondering what was wrong with Xiaota lately; it turns out there was someone else behind her!
After being exposed, Luo Chuan slowly raised his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he already had "Little Junior Sister" in his palm.
"Who said there isn't?" His slender fingers slowly turned to one of the chapters. "Junior Sister left with her childhood sweetheart. Doesn't that make her a heartless man in your eyes?"
Huali: ...But that's because they're going to join forces to exorcise demons!! If she hadn't seen it, she almost would have believed it.
“But that childhood sweetheart was here first.” The Buddhist monk’s tone was cold and carried an unfathomable emotion.
"This exists because that exists; this arises because that arises. In all things, we should consider the order of arrival."
Luo Chuan's eyes turned cold. First come, first served?
He counted seven hundred snowfalls by the Luo River, and the orchids on the other side of the river bloomed and withered.
During the most difficult times, whenever the mountain wind stirred the pines, he would think of the girl's words, "Mountains and rivers." The morning mist, mixed with his longing, seeped into every nook and cranny; he tried desperately to grasp it, but could only hold onto a handful of damp moonlight.
However, for the little girl in front of her, all of this was nothing more than a dream in the rain of the Burial God Abyss.
First come, first served? First come, first served!
"Wait, let me interrupt." Seeing the two of them arguing again, Huali silently raised her hand. "Lianzhuo, how do you know about Junior Sister's plot?"
He didn't even glance at it.
Lian Zhuo's fingertips trembled slightly as she gripped the Soul-Gathering Bottle.
Not only those two books, but also the handkerchief Huali bandaged him when he was injured in Lingwu Mountain, the candied hawthorn skewer he only took one bite of and couldn't bear to eat, and even the words the girl casually wrote in Chenliu City—he had repeatedly caressed each of these items under the ever-burning lamp.
After parting ways in Chenliu City, a persistent rain fell in the heart of the Buddhist disciple. The longing was swept away at dawn, but it spread back at dusk, each drop a delusional thought that should not exist before the Buddha.
"Amitabha."
A twisted malice flashed in Luo Chuan's heterochromatic eyes. He suddenly curled his lips into a smile. "What a fine example of first come, first served. Where was the Buddha when I was fighting alongside Little Flower Pear?"
"In that case, this humble monk does indeed have a question for the Demon King." Lian Zhuo stepped forward without any hesitation, "The Heart-Connecting Bracelet can still sense each other even if they are thousands of miles apart, as long as they are in the same place. But after we parted in Sunset City, Hua Li was clearly in Luo Yun Mountain of the Demon Clan, so why couldn't the Heart-Connecting Bracelet sense her?"
"Or perhaps Tianlan City is so close, yet it still fails. Can the Demon King explain this?"
Huali: Huh? Wasn't it broken?
"The Bracelet of Love?" Luo Chuan repeated the three words slowly and deliberately, his icy shards suddenly piercing towards Lian Zhuo's wrist.
At the same time, the Buddha's light shone.
The moment the two forces, one gold and one white, collided, sparks exploded in the air.
The spiritual energy shockwave shattered the tables and chairs next door, but the dishes on their table remained completely untouched.
Zhao Heng, who was eating when she discovered the table was gone, was speechless.
Lian Zhuo raised her eyes: "Tribulation stage?"
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, "Fusion Stage?"
Once here, Huali finally connected to the 5G network and abruptly turned to look at Lianzhuo, "What the heck? The Fusion Stage?"
Is this for real? They haven't been apart for very long, and Lian Zhuo has already progressed from the Golden Core stage to the Integration stage? Even a rocket couldn't move that fast.
Lian Zhuo lowered her eyes and remained silent, her fingers forming a seal in her sleeve to suppress the blood gu that had forcibly broken through the restriction and was now backfiring.
Luo Chuan, however, spoke slowly and deliberately, "So the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect deliberately concealed their true strength, claiming to be at the Nascent Soul stage, but in reality, they had already reached the Integration stage?"
I remain noncommittal about the lotus root.
Hua Li finally got around to the point, "Luo Chuan, wait a minute. Which Buddhist disciple are you referring to?"
Tang Wanwan, who was watching the drama unfold nearby, also looked up and asked, "What Buddhist disciple? What does it have to do with a Buddhist disciple?"
A rare look of helplessness flashed across Lian Zhuo's face. Just as she was about to speak, Luo Chuan, who seemed to understand everything, showed just the right amount of surprise first, "Oh? Little Pear doesn't know?"
"Isn't this Lian Zhuo in front of you the Buddhist disciple Tan Chen of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect?"
